Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bristol Area Down's Syndrome Support gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
My Story:
A night up the pub and a few too many Ashton Press ciders later a group of mates including myself decide we should run the Bristol Half marathon on September the 6th 2009 and of course not being one to back out i fully went in with two feet
As you will hopefully be aware since around may i have been training and have taken on somewhat of a complete change in lifestyle attitude. Gone the Saturday night kebabs round Hardings and the beer has also seen near extinction apart from the odd cheeky one for a special occasion. I have purchased a new mountain bike and have tried to use the car as sparingly as possible. (Those 5:30AM bike rides to work arent much fun i can tell you!!)
The reason for picking firstly a charity and this one was quite an easy decision to make. I havent for years raised any money for good causes apart from the odd fancy dress charity shop bargain buy so i felt it was a good opportunity to do something to be proud of.
The reason for picking this charity is one close to my heart as for 11 years i lived with my down syndrome Uncle Nicky. If you know Nicky then you know what a character he is and never ever asks for anything in life.
Due to his day centre coming to an end, where which he has been going for around 40 years i feel it would be nice to give something back for which has given him so much over the years.
Its the old cliche but every penny does count and if i can raise enough money for them to have a proper send then that would be great.
Thank you for reading.
So please sponsor me generously now lol!
